SETTLEMENT AND EARLY HISTORY OF MONTGOMERY. 



Montgomery is one of the most historic cities of the Union — 
known not only in this country, but across the waters — for men 
who lived here and for events that transpired here. 

An Indian town Echau-Chatty meaning "red bluffs" once occu- 
pied the present site of the city. Towassa another Indian settle- 
ment was near by and within the memory of man. Six villages 
stood on the east bank of the river, all of which have been ab- 
sorbed by Montgomery. 

The sturdy companions of Hernando de Soto in company with 
that explorer, camped on the present site for a week in Septem- 
ber, 1540. Another Spanish expedition visited the site in 1560. In 
1715 the Frenchman, Bienville, headed an expedition up the Ala- 
bama river and built Fort Toulouse, a few miles above Montgom- 
ery. 

These were but wanderers, but in 1716 a Scotchman, James Mc- 
Queen, built a trading post within the present boundaries and in 
1785 Abraham Mordecai erected a gin, the first in Alabama, a short 
distance above Montgomery. There drifted in other traders, all 
of whom had Indian wives. 

During the Revolution, Colonel Tate, a British officer, drilled 
squads of Tories and Indians here. 

The first white man to build a home here was Arthur Moore. 
His small log cabin perched high on the river bluffs a few yards 
up the river from the station, has long since been undermined 
by the river and there is now no trace of the high embankment 
where Arthur Moore hunted wild game for his visitor. General 
Thomas Woodward, when he spent some days here in 1815. 

Two years later the territorial government of Alabama was es- 
tablished. The prospect of protection under the new government 
proved an inducement to the tide of population then setting 
strongly southwestward. Fabulous reports of the fertility of the 
soil got abroad and a steady stream of settlers poured across from 
the land office at Milledgeville, Georgia, through the Creek lands 
into Alabama territory. Among these were two different types 
of pioneers. One under the direction of Andrew Dexter, a New 
Englander, was composed of educated but adventurous Yankee 
folks — the other of the flower of the Carolinas and Georgia. Two 
land companies were formed and plots laid out. The one under 
the direction of Dexter with the assistance of John Falconer, 
bought that part of Montgomery bounded by Scott, Jefferson, 
Court and Ripley streets. By the very modern plan of offering 
free lots he persuaded several traders to join his venture and

proceeded to lay off his town. With a remarkable prophetic vision 
and with touching faith he reserved the crest of the most com- 
manding hill for the future capitol. This man of broad vision 
waited thirty years for the fulfillment of his dream. This town 
was called New Philadelphia- — a name given by John Klinck. 

In 1818 two more towns sprang up in sight of New Philadelphia. 
One was a mile down the river near what is now West End and 
was called "Alabama Town." This land company was under the 
direction of Gen. John Scott, Thos. Bell and Dr. Manning. 

A third town immediately adjoining New Philadelphia was 
called "East Alabama." This was the part of the present city 
that is bounded by Court, Clayton and Goldthwaite streets with 
the river on the north. These people were from Georgia or the 
Carolinas. 

In a year the two rival towns grew apace. In December, 1819, 
just a week before the State of Alabama was admitted into the 
Union, the two towns, New Philadelphia and East Alabama united 
into one town called by common consent Montgomery. 

The county of Montgomery was named for Major Lemuel Mont- 
gomery, who was killed in the fight of General Jackson at Horse 
Shoe Bend, while the city was named for General Richard Mont- 
gomery, the brave young Irishman who fell at the head of the 
American troops at Quebec — each for a man who fell on the field 
of honor. 

The Court House was erected in Court Square where the boun- 
daries of the two towns met, and a government of the town es- 
tablished. 

The executive officer was known as the intendant and the first 
one to serve was Wm. Graham. At this election 59 votes were 
cast, the total number of white males in the new town. 



GUIDE TO CITY OF MONTGOMERY 7 

From 1820 to 1838 the following pioneer citizens of Alontgomery 
served as intendants : 

N. E. Benson. 

Francis McGehee. 

Francis Bugbee. 

J. H. Thorington. 

John Gindrat. 

Justus Wyman. 

Bryan Gordon. 

John Edmonson. 

Wm. Sayre. 

Isaac Ticknor. 

Andrew Dexter. 

M. B. Tatum. 

M. Hooks. 

The town meetings were usually held in the "counting-house" of 
John Gindrat, and in the minutes of these meetings it is often re- 
corded that the Intendant and Councillors adjourned to some 
home for refreshments. 

Montgomery was chartered as a city December 23, 1837. At the 
first election held January 14, 1838, Samuel D. Holt was elected 
Mayor. 

LAFAYETTE'S VISIT IN 1825. 

The visit of Lafayette was an important event in the early 
days of Montgomery. No one was ever more deserving of honors, 
and none ever received more patriotic and grateful homage. 

The Marquis first set foot on Alabama soil in Russell County. 
He came by stage from Macon, Georgia. It was on the Alabama

side of the Chattahoochee River, which divides the two states, 
that the Alabama delegation assembled to greet their guest. Gen- 
eral Thomas Woodward had charge of the committee, and Col- 
onel Arthur Hayes, veteran of the War of 1812, was general man- 
ager. 

On the east bank of the river General Lafayette was met by 
Chilly Mcintosh, son of a noted Indian general. With him were 
fifty Indian warriors, stripped naked and finely painted. They 
had prepared a sulky with drag ropes. The general was turned 
over by the Georgians to the Indians, who escorted him across 
the river. As the ferry boat reached the Alabama side, the Indians 
in two lines seized the drag ropes and drew the vehicle to the 
top of the bank. As the sulky came to a standstill the Indians 
gave three loud whoops. 

General Lafayette was addressed by the Honorable Boiling Hall, 
who spoke the welcome of the Alabama delegation. Other speeches 
were made, among them one by an Indian called Little Prince. The 
Indians then played games which the General watched with keen 
interest. 

The party came to Montgomery by the Mt. Meigs road, reach- 
ing the city on Sunday, April 3, 1825. The entire population of the 
town, and many of the people from the villages nearby had as- 
sembled to greet the famous Frenchman. The escort halted in 
front of the Capitol Square, whence they walked to the top of 
the hill. There Colonel Hall introduced Lafayette to Governor 
Israel Pickens, whose feelings on that occasion prevented him 
from making a speech ; but, as General Woodwards remarks, "La- 
fayette did not fail to perceive that the Governor was a great 
man." 

After beautiful reception exercises the Marquis was escorted 
to the residence of Colonel John Edmonson on Commerce Street,

..hich had been engaged and fitted up for his accommodation. 
Every lady in town contributed something towards fitting up the 
apartment. The only Brussels carpet in town Mrs. William Har- 
ris and Mrs. John Gindrat lent to the committee. Mrs. Gindrat 
also lent a handsome mirror, now in the possession of the heirs 
of Mrs. Lucy Lahey. 

All business was suspended during his sojourn and everyone 
was earnest in attentions to the only surviving general of the 
American Revolution. Arrangements were made for a grand ball 
on the night of April 4, 1825. The old Bell Tavern was selected as 
the place for the affair, since it was the finest building in the city. 
At that time the building was occupied by a boarding house on the 
lower floor and a school on the upper. It was in this school room 
that the ball was given. 

On the night of the ball all the elite of the city gathered to do 
homage to their charming guest. The entertainment was the most 
elegant in the history of the town, costing the State of Alabama, 
$15,000. There was one drawback, however, to the enjoyment of 
the taller gentlemen. The ceiling was so low that they experi- 
enced difficulty in dancing. 

General Lafayette was sorry to quit the ball room, but he was 
compelled to leave about eleven. He spent his last hour in Mont- 
gomery at the home of Mr. Gindrat, where he and several friends 
talked until twelve. Shortly after that hour he went on board the 
boat which conveyed him to Cahaba, at that time the Capitol of 
the State. 

Lafayette's visit is little more than a beautiful tradition, for un- 
fortunately time has obliterated the landmarks associated with 
him. 

On the corner of Commerce and Tallapoosa Streets where once 
stood the old building known first as Bell Tavern, later as "the 
old Lafayette house," stands today the Nicrosi Biulding. On April 
4, 1905, was unveiled a tablet which reads : 

On this site stood until November 1899, the house in 
in which Marquis de Lafayette was given a public re- 
ception and ball, April 4, 1825, while on his last tour 
through the United States. 

The D. A. R. erected another tablet in honor of Lafayette at 
what was originally Capitol Hill School. The ladies renamed the 
school "Lafayette School." The story runs that at a picnic given 
as part of the festivities in the general's honor, lunch was spread 
on the verj' spot where the school stands. 

To those who care for old things, for the past, it might be in- 
teresting to make a pilgrimage to one other shrine of memory. 
On the old Line Creek Road, sometimes called the Mt. Meigs Road, 
is the old Wigglesworth home, beautiful in itself, and well worth 
seeing. There took place one of the many parties; and there, 
while Lafayette was being royally entertained downstairs, a son 
was born upstairs. In honor of the noble guest the child was 
christened "Lafayette Wigglesworth." 

In the homes of many Montgomerians are mementos of the gala 
days of Lafayette's visit. It is our boast that "Lafayette danced 
with great grandmother this or that;" or that to great aunt he 
was pleased to pay such and such a compliment. We in Mont-

gomery are proud to be still possessed of many of the families 
who were here in the early days. It is equally pleasant to look 
forward to posterity or back to our ancestors in this quaint old 
town. 

THE C.-\PlTOL. 

Site. 

On a green terraced hill facing Dexter Avenue. Montgomery*, 
stands the capitol of Alabama. The beaut}* of this fine old build- 
ing is enhanced by its imposing site and the spacious grounds, em- 
bellished with flowers, shrubs, and trees. 

History. 

The history of the building of the capitol is most interesting. 
When Montgomery-, then called Xew Philadelphia, was founded 
by Andrew Dexter, he predicted that the town would one da}* be 
the capital of the State. His prophecj- was fulfilled in 1846. Be- 
fore that date. Alabama had been successiveh* governed from St. 
Stephens, her territorial capital: from Huntsville. her temporary 
capital: from Cahaba. her first State capital: and from Tuscaloosa. 
So. nearh* twenty-eight years of statehood had gone by before it 
became Montgomery's turn to build a State Capitol. The city

lost no time: Stephen D. Bulton was chosen architect, the plans 
soon drawn, and the contract for construction awarded to Robin- 
son and Bardwell. 

In Xovember. 1847. the Secretary of State was notified that the 
new capitol was finished. He came over at once from Tuscaloosa, 
received the building, formalh* for the State, returned to Tusca- 
loosa, packed all the State archives in 113 boxes, and loaded them 
into thirteen wagons for transfer to Montgomery. 

You who live in this da^- of railroads may smile at the picture 
of that old wagon train journeying slowly up Market Street (now 
Dexter Avenue) to "Goat Hill" (now Capitol Hill.) ProbabU- the 
next generation will be as much amused at our slow methods of 
transportation. 

\Vhen the first session of the Legislature convened in Mont- 
gomer}'. December 6. 1847, there was an immense crowd at the 
Capitol for the event. A great jollification took place, but the 
season of rejoicing was brief. On December 14. 1849. during the 
second session of the Legislature, the Capitol caught on fire, and 
within three hours was a mass of ruins. Thus went up in smoke 
and flame, many soaring aspirations of little Montgomery town. 

The present Capitol dates from 1850-51. The central part of 
it was built on the same spot as the first Capitol, and except for 
a few changes in dimensions, this central portion stands todaj- 
substantially the same in design as the Capitol of 1846. 

The building has been enlarged three times. In 1885 the rear ex- 
tension was built, in 19C3 the south wing was built, and in 1911 the 
north wing. Every effort was made to keep these additions in 
harmony with the original Greek type of architecture. For the 
south and north wings, plans of Frank Lockwood. Montgomery, 
were accepted. At that time Mr. McKim. of the prominent firm 
of McKim. Meade & White. Xew York, made a special visit to 
Montgomery to inspect the Capitol. 

At the time of his visit, the Capitol was in its original form, ex- 
cept for the rear addition. McKim pronounced the old dome 
particularly- pure and beautiful in design. He also warmly praised 
the interior carved stairway. There is no visible support to this 
stairway, and hence it produces a charming effect of airy grace. 

McKim declared the Lockwood plans to be in perfect harm- 
ony with the original structure. His judgment has been amply 
justified by the pleasing aspect of the present building, with its 
ample wings, lofty dome, and stately white-columned portico. 

Exterior and Grounds. 

As one mounts the A\ide steps leading up Capitol Hill, the old 
clock above the portico tells one the hour. Long ago this ancient 
timepiece was the town clock of Montgomery, and it has been 
in its present elevated position since 1852. so it may be pardoned 
if its information is not always correct. 

The visitor's attention is attracted by the old cannon and the 
flag pole on the lawn at the left of the steps. At the outbreak 
of the Civil War the cannon was sent to Montgomen,- from an 
old fort in Pensacola. Later on. it was mounted in its present 
place. The flag pole nearby is made from the flag poles of two 
Spanish ships sunk in the Battle of Santiago It Tas presented

CONFEDERATE MONUMENT

to Alabama by one of her distinguished sons, Richmond Pearson 
Hobson, hero of the Merrimac. 

At the south end of the Capitol grounds, stands a handsome 
new flag pole, erected by popular subscription during the World 
War. Dedicated with impressive ceremonies, this flag pole has al- 
ready become an object of special interest to visitors. 

Many of the shrubs and trees everywhere adorning the grounds, 
possess historic interest as well as intrinsic beaut}'. The won- 
derful "Red Bud" or Judas tree, that blooms so gorgeously every 
spring near the Confederate monument at the north end of the 
Capitol, grew upon the battlefield of Shiloh. Nearer the same 
monument, is a small tree from the bloody ground of Gettysburg; 
and at the northeast corner stands a sycamore from Manassas. 

Very recently, the Capitol grounds have been enriched by a 
gift of trees from various battlefields of France, where Alabauia 
soldiers fought so gallantly. These much-prized trees are planted 
near the Confederate monument. 

Not far from these living memorials of famous battles, stands 
an elm tree planted by President Eliot of Harvard in 1909. As this 
distinguished educator happened to be in Montgomery on Arbor 
Day, the Federation of Women's Clubs persuaded him to com- 
memorate his visit in this pleasing fashion. 

Many shrubs from historic homes of Montgomery have been 
planted near the main entrance to the Capitol. Among these, is 
a sprig of laurel from the old Henry W. Hilliard Place, the orig- 
inal plant having been imported from Belgium. There are other 
interesting circumstances linked with the Capitol trees and 
shrubbery. 

When the south wing of the Capitol was completed, the women 
of the Montgomery Flower Growers Association, as a labor of 
love, undertook to plant the adjacent grounds with flowers and 
shrubs representative of all parts of Alabama. The central part 
of the State is typified by azaleas and hydrangeas; the northern, 
by snowballs and peonies; the southern,, by magnolias; the east 
and west by cape jessamines and myrtles. 

And for the whole State, bloom continuously the lovely roses 
in a spacious garden planned by the gracious daughter of the 
present governor and called "Anne Kilby's Rose Garden." 

CONFEDERATE MONUMENT. 

Some years after the Civil War, a few women of Alontgoniery 
met to discuss plans for a monument to the Confederate soldiers. 
These devoted workers, many of them "Belles of the 60's" formed 
the "Ladies Memorial Association," and for years worked im- 
ceasingly to secure funds with which to embody, in lasting form, 
ideals which they wished coming generations to love and venerate. 
The Confederate Monument, north of the Capitol, rose at last as 
the fulfillment of their dreams. 

To add to the historic value of the monument, Jetferson Davis 
consented to come to Montgomery and lay the corner stone. 
This event took place April 29th, 1886. 

Afterwards the State of Alabama contributed funds to help 
finish the monument.

It was dedicated to "The Soldiers and Seamen of the Con-

The monument consists of a base of stones rising in steps to 
the shaft. On the four sides are granite figures which personify 
Infantry, Cavalry, Artillery and The Navy. Suitable inscriptions 
in verse are on the pedestals beneath.

At the top of the monument is a figure symbolic of Patriotism. 
The Confederate Monument is a tribute to the Confederate Sol- 
dier, but in the hearts of Montgomery people, it stands also as a 
reminder of the undying devotion of her women to the cause 
which thev held so dear.

stitute, are among the important branches, having headquarters 
here. 

Department of Archives and History. 

The Department of Archives and History, founded in 1901, by 
the late Thomas McAdory Owen, is maintained on the second floor 
in the south wing of the Capitol. The collections consist of por- 
traits of the historical characters of the State, battle flags of the 
Confederate and other wars, specimen weapons of ail wars in 
which Alabamians have participated, Indian domestic arts and 
war implements, specimens of native birds and other fauna. 

The anthropological collection is the largest south of Washing- 
ton. Relics of especial interest are : The Bible upon which the 
oath of office was administered to Jefferson Davis, President of 
the Confederate States of America; a Ku Klux outfit, lone witness 
of the mysterious, invisible empire which did so much to maintain 
order in the dark days of Reconstruction; a key to the first Cap- 
itol of the State at old Cahaba ; a cannon that once fortified the 
old French Fort Toulouse constructed in 1714, at the confluence of 
the Coosa and Tallapoosa Rivers, afterwards renamed Fort Jack- 
son in honor of General Andrew Jackson, who camped there 
during the Creek Indian wars ; the oldest European relic in the 
United States, the breach block of a cannon from one of the 
Spanish vessels bringing De Soto to these shores only fifty years 
after the discovery of America. 

The Library of the Department consists of Alabama, Southern 
and general American material. It is the Southern depository 
of all bound duplicate newspaper volumes assembled by the Li- 
brary of Congress which relate to the Southern territory. It 
contains about 100,000 books, more than 30,000 pamphlets, 6,000 
bound volumes of newspapers and periodicals going back of 1816. 
It receives regularly more than 500 periodicals. The department 
is custodian of all official records of the State. 

The late Dr. Henry E. Halbert, antiquarian and authority on 
the Choctaw Indians, who was connected for years with this de- 
partment left to it his translation of the Bible in the Choctaw 
language, an English translation from the French of Le Clerc 
Milfort's memoirs, and a manuscript History of the Choctaw Na- 
tion. 

Among many portraits of the State's leading sons and daugh- 
ters are found those of: Emma Sansom, girl heroine famous in 
Alabama history and literature, who risked her life to aid General 
Forrest and his men; J. Marion Sims, the well known surgeon; 
William L. Yancey, the orator of the Confederacy; Senators Mor- 
gan, Bankhead and Pettus ; General Joseph Wheeler; and Admiral 
Raphael Semmes, an authority on maritime law and commander of 
the famous ship, Alabama. Portraits which are the work of fa- 
mous artists are those of: John McKee, Indian agent and member 
of Congress, by Benjamin West; Andrew Jackson, by Earle ; Judge 
William Crawford of Tuscaloosa and Mrs. Crawford, by Thomas 
Sully; Oliver Fitts, father of Mrs. William Crawford, by Rem- 
brandt Peale. 

The Activities of the Department are: To collect and pre- 
serve all historical data and material; to compile and edit historic 
documents ; to publish quadrennially an Official and Statistical

Register of the State. Aside from his duties as head of the De- 
partment of Archives and History, the Director conducts a sys- 
tem of traveling libraries and takes a leading part in the promo- 
tion and extension of library interests in the State. He is a mem- 
ber of the Workman's Compensation Commission, Secretary of the 
Alabama Memorial Commission, Secretary of Alabama Building 
Commission, and member of the State Pension Board. The Ala- 
bama Historical Society, the Alabama Anthropological Society, 
and the Bartram Natural History Society are associated i)Ut not 
directly connected with the Department. 

It is interesting to note that the plan of organization for this 
Department has been approved by the American Historical Soci- 
ety and that it has been adopted wholly or in part by the states 
which have since founded such a Department. It is to the late 
Dr. Thomas M. Owen that the credit for the conception and suc- 
cess of this Department is due. Mrs. Thomas M. Owen is his 
successor. Mr. Peter Brannon, who has been in the work since 
its foundation, is curator; Miss Mary R. Mullen is Librarian. 

View. 

The visitor will be well repaid for climbing the many stairs to 
the dome of the Capitol. Official guides, all "veterans of the 
sixties," are always on hand to show the way, and after the 
passage through the old fashioned trap door, one is re- 
warded by a magnificent view of the city and surrounding coun- 
try, blue hills, and shimmering rivers in the warm sunshine. 
Green pastures are not far away. Involuntarily, thoughts go back 
to the patriarch Moses, reviewing the Promised Land. Alabama 
is the land of Promise!

THE CAPITOL. 

Historic Events Connected With the Capitol. 

The Capitol of Alabama boasts a unique distinction; within its 
walls was born a nation. The city of Montgomery is known as 
the "Cradle of the Confederacy," and here was made and unfurled 
the first flag of the Confederate States. 

After the completion of the Capitol Building in 1847, the little 
city of its habitation soon began to show on its ruffled surface 
traces of every storm that swept over the land. No other place 
took a more vivid interest in the heated debates in Congress 
over the fatal territorial problems thrust upon us by the Mexican 
War. General Quitman and General Shields, fresh from the con- 
quests of this war, were given a public reception in the new Cap- 
itol. 

Two conventions assembled between May '47 and February '48. 
These conventions bore a common relation to one purpose. They 
inaugurated the popular movement in the Southern States against 
the doctrine of the Wilmot Proviso, and they made of Alabama 
the pivotal state of the Confederate cause. In orderly succes- 
sion of events, Alabama retained the leadership she then assumed 
— an inevitable sequence of events culminating in a federal or- 
ganization of the slave states in the convention held fourteen 
years later in '61. 

In 1852 the Legislature made an appropriation for a hospital at 
Tuscaloosa to care for the insane of the State. This was a step 
in work that came to be known all over the world. The first 
superintendent, Dr. Bryce, was the first physician to treat insanity 
as a disease. 

From 1852-'59 the Capitol shook to its foundations. Yancey. Hil- 
Hard, Clemens, C. C. Clay and many other eloquent speakers, 
threshed out in the State, the vital issues that Henry Clay. Cal- 
houn and Hayne were debating in the national capitol. Hotter 
and hotter grew the feeling, bitterer and bitterer grew the de- 
bates, ending finally in 1860-61 with the series of events which have 
made the Capitol at Montgomery historically famous the world 
over.

JEFFERSON DAVIS BEDKt)UM 

January, 1861, saw Alabama's famous Secession Convention. To 
this convention w^ent Wm. L. Yancey — a young man of great ora- 
torical powers and sweeping convictions for State's Rights with 
a platform in his pocket, and it was adopted word for word. This, 
the famous Alabama platform, was the first formal resolution stat- 
ing the view which more and more Southern men were beginning 
to hold, that neither Congress nor the Territorial Legislature had 
any right to prohibit slavery in the territories, but on the con- 
trary, should protect it. 

It was a time of tremendous excitement. State after state was 
seceding. Alabama being fourth, and all were sending delegates to 
Montgomery to form a new Confederacy. On February 4th, these 
delegates organized the Confederate States of America, of which 
Alabama became a member. A provisional constitution was adopt- 
ed. Jefferson Davis of Mississippi, was elected President and 
Alexander Stephens of Georgia, Vice President. On February the 
18th. Davis and his cabinet took the oath of office. A star on 
the north portico marks the exact spot where Mr. Davis stood 
during the inauguration. A large platforin was built directly in 
front, and here sat the first Confederate Congress with the Ala- 
bama Legislature. 

The little city of 10,000 inhabitants was thronged with visitors 
from all the Cotton States. Some no doubt came by the old 
Montgomery railroad, which was opened up in the forties and 
apparently run by ante-bellum time, for one commentator says. 
"When the engine (made in Montgomery, it is interesting to note) 
gets out of fix, horses are substituted without hesitation or serious 
loss of time."

PERSONAL BELONGINGS OF 
JEFFERSON DAVIS 



On that fateful day, cannon boomed, 
steamboats at the wharves blew 
shrill blasts, church bells rang, and 
the Stars and Bars were flung from 
the top of the Capitol, announcing 
the birth of the new nation. 

Here the seat of government re- 
mained till May, 1861. 

The old building then passed 
through the terrible days of pillage 
and reconstruction. A detachment 
of soldiers under General Smith came 
up from Mobile and encamped in the 
('apitol. Their mules, taken from the 
surrounding country-side, adorned 
former Goat Hill. The story goes 
that a belle of the town went up to 
General Headquarters to identify her 
father's stock, and was told that if 
she would ride up Dexter Avenue 
with General Smith she might have 
the sleekest and fattest of the lot. 

A Carpetbag and Negro Legisla- 
ture took the seats formerly occupied 
by the proudest men of the South. 

The convention of 1865, with all former law makers of Alabama 
excluded and negro voters in the ascendancy adopted a consti- 
tution abolishing slavery and the right of secession. 1875 saw 
a convention called for the purpose of remedying this constitu- 
tion, which had not dealt with state finances, school monies, etc. 
In 1901 this later constitution had become unwieldly and out-of- 
date, so a convention was called to amend it. The white voters 
had then come into their own and many vital questions were 
settled. 

In 1886 Jefferson Davis, only President of the Confederacy, came 
to Montgomery. The old Capitol saw stirring days again, a loy- 
alty touching and pathetic, was shown by the townspeople and 
crowds of visitors. A few years later, the President's body was 
brought to Montgomery and lay in state in the building where 
he achieved his greatest triumph. The Capitol was draped in 
black, tear-dimmed eyes and myriads of flowers showed the love 
and affection that modern Montgomery holds for Jefferson Da- 
vis. 

In 1898 Alabama heard but indistinctly the roll of drum beats. 
A Spanish-American war was being fought and her sons were 
doing their share as citizens of this great Republic. Richmond 
Pearson Hobson, a brave veteran, came straight home after the 
war, and delivered his maiden speech in the old Capitol. 

November 11, 1919, finds us a united nation. Governor Kilby 
stands on the Southern portico of the Capitol and receives re- 
turned soldiers from the great war. Again a great celebration 
takes place. Locomotives shriek, cannon boom, bells ring, sol- 
diers clad in khaki tramp up historic Dexter Avenue. Medals are

awarded and patriotic speeches delivered. Once more crowds 
surge around the old Capitol, but this time they cheer the advent 
of peace ! 

WHITE HOUSE OF THE CONFEDERACY. 

The first "White House of the Confederacy" stands on the cor- 
ner of Lee and Bibb streets. In the days of the 60's this was a 
fashionable residence district, but the business section has en- 
croached further and further upon it until the house is almost ob- 
scured from view. Garages and automobile warehouses now stand 
where once were old-fashioned gardens with stitT box hedges, 
magnolias and crepe inyrtle trees. The house will soon be moved 
to a more suitable location, the last Legislature having appropri- 
ated a sum of money for this purpose. It will probably be lo- 
cated near the Capitol where it will be preserved as a Confeder- 
ate museum. The Jefferson Davis collection now at the Capitol, 
will ultimately be removed to the "White House of the Confeder- 
acy." This collection is of peculiar interest, alike to strangers and 
to those who revere the memory of the Lost Cause, containing as 
it does, the personal belonging of President Davis, many of which 
were taken froin his home at Beauvoir, Mississippi, and presented 
by Mrs. Davis. Among other relics in this collection is the table 
on which Mr. Davis wrote his "Rise and Fall of the Southern 
Confederacy." Other treasures are General Lee's compass, and 
President Davis's sword. The spread on the Davis bed was con- 
tributed by Southern women, each woman crocheting one shell. 

This patriotic work of preserving the first White House of the 
Confederacy" is due to the untiring efforts of an organization of 
women known as "The White House Association" which for years 
has worked with this purpose in view. Its first officers were :

Mathews and Mr. Freeman were the next two owners. It then 
passed into the hands of Col. J. G. Winter, who- remodeled it and 
just before the war sold it to Colonel Edmond Harrison, Since 
the war it has belonged, first to William Crawford Bibb and now 
to the Tyson family. President Jefferson Davis and his family"

ery to Richmond. Life was very gay at the first "White House" 
for the South had not yet begun to feel the hardships of war and 
hope was high in every Confederate heart. 

Official receptions were held after the Washington custom, at 
which gathered the most brilliant society of the South. An arch- 
way of lights encircled the door to give welcome to the guests. 

Mrs. Jefferson Davis in her book says, "The house chosen for 
us was a gentleman's residence, room3' enough for our purpose 
on the corner of a street looking towards the Capitol. * * * We 
lived there over three months and the most brilliant levees held 
and the handsomest parties given while Mr. Davis was President 
of the Confederacy were given in that house." 

THE EXCHANGE HOTEL. 
Corner of Commerce and Montgomery Streets. 

The Exchange Hotel, a modern fire-proof building, stands on 
the spot made historic by the old Exchange, which was for more 
than half a century the center of the political and social life of 
Alabama. During the stirring days of the 60's history was made 
within its walls. From the balcony, Alabama's famous orator, 
William Lowndes Yancey, presented Jefferson Davis to the en- 
thusiastic throng below with the memorable words, "The man 
and the hour have met." The first Confederate cabinet met here. 
President Davis using as his private office one of the small par- 
lors of the hotel. The order to fire on Fort Sumter was issued 



24 



GUIDE TO CITY OF MONTGOMERY 



from this building. The message was carried to the telegraph 
office, situated in the Winter building across the street by Mr. Phil 
Gayle. The Davis famih^ lived at the Exchange for several weeks 
until the "White House" could be made ready for occupancy. 

When the capitol burned in 1849 the Legislature which was then 
in session held its meetings in the dining room of the Exchange. 
From that year to the present, its lobby has been the gathering 
place for the politicians of Alabama. Many famous statesmen, 
actors, and musicians have been the guests of the historic old ho- 
tel. Among them were Stephen Douglas. Grover Cleveland, Mil- 
lard Fillmore, Booth, Barrett, Joseph Jefferson, Lotta, Rhea. 

The old Exchange was built in 1846 by a company composed of 
Charles T. Pollard, Charles Crommelin, William Taylor, Frances 
Gilmer and others. Samuel Holt was the architect and J. J. Stew- 
art was the first proprietor. Several years later it passed into 
the hands of Lanier and Son, who had associated with them A. P. 
Watt and later A .T. Givhan. The Lanier family have held an 
interest in the Exchange for four generations and here the gift- 
ed brothers, Sidney and Clifford, passed a part of their young man- 
hood. 

Sidney Lanier, musician and poet, brought all the music and ro- 
mance of his soul into this old hotel as night clerk. Tradition 
says that guests of the hostelry were often awakened at midnight 
by heavenly strains of music. Stealing from his bedroom, each 
would find the rotunda crowded with eager listeners and the un- 
conscious Lanier in the office, playing his flute. 

The Cradle of the Confederacy Chapter, United Daughters of the 
Confederac3^ has placed a bronze tablet in the Montgomery street 
entrance of the Exchange Hotel, commemorating the historic 
events.

MONTGOMERY COUNTY COURT HOUSE 



WILSON'S RAID. 



When the Civil War was drawing to a close the Federal General 
Wilson with his command of cavalry was sent on a raid through 
Georgia and Alabama — a section of the South left like many oth- 
ers, with only old men, women and children to defend it. 

Reports of his deeds in Selma filled the people of Montgomery 
with alarm, since all knew that General Buford with his hastily 
organized militia was totally unable to oppose this force. Family 
silver was buried, horses and mules were sent to outlying plan- 
tations, and men wanted by the Federal government left town. 

On the morning of April 11, 1865, General Buford left the city 
he was unable to defend, in order to spare it bombardment, taking 
with him all the military stores that it was possible to carry. 

On the night of the eleventh, the city was a scene of feverish 
activity. Determined that nothing useful should fall into Federal 
hands, the people of the city gathered all the cotton together and 
placed it in warehouses near the river. That night the entire 
amount, eighty-eight thousand bales, was set ablaze. So intense 
was the heat of this fire that buildings nearby were endangered. 
The entire population assembled and formed bucket lines which 
kept the roofs of the threatened houses saturated, and the spread 
of the conflagration was thus prevented. 

Eye witnesses have said that the sight of the city illuminated 
by this eerie glow made a life-long impression on them. 

On the morning of the twelfth. General Wilson entered the city. 
He remained a week resting his command and collecting every- 
thing of value from the surrounding country. His efforts in this 
latter direction met with little success, due to General Buford's 
foresight and the sacrifice of the inhabitants, who destroyed ev- 
erything rather than have it fall into Federal hands. 



26 



GUIDE TO CITY OF MONTGOMERY 



During their stay the invaders made themselves much at home. 
Tradition has it that General Wilson and his staff established 
headquarters at 440 S. Perry street, the place known as the Teague 
home. Soldiers camped on a vacant Court street lot where the 
Sophronia Apartments now stand. 

The property of civilians was protected by many clever devices. 
One woman plucked about three quarters of the feathers from all 
her chickens, and informed all foraging patrols that they were 
suffering from a strange malady. In due time this particular 
flock was eaten in proper form by its rightful owners. 

General Wilson accomplished little of military value during his 
stay. On the morning of the nineteenth he moved on to Tuske- 
gee and thence to Columbus, Georgia, where he fought the last 
battle of the war. Here, as in Alabama, his path was marked by 
burning houses and devastated fields. 

HISTORIC SITES AND BUILDINGS. 

Montgomery Hall. 

Where the present Post Office now stands on the corner of 
Lawrence Street and Dexter Avenue was the once-famous Mont- 
gomery Hall. It was here that the troops gathered before leav- 
ing for the Mexican war; here that the old stage lines discharged 
and received passengers, for this old hotel was the gathering place 
for central Alabama.

Yancey, standing on the front steps of the old Alontgomery 
Hall, delivered his address of welcome to the returning heroes 
from the Mexican war. 

During the War Between the States this building was used as 
a hospital for soldiers. 

In the present Post Office the Francis Marion Chapter, D. A. R.

the American Revolution, who lived in Montgomerj' County, Ala-

First Church Building. 

The first church building in Montgomery was on the present site 
of the Court Street Methodist Church. This building was used by 
the different religious bodies as early as 1827, but was relinquished 
to the Methodists in 1830. This building was later removed to the 
corner of Holcombe and Alildred streets and was used until re- 
cently by a negro congregation, the church being widely known 
as "Old Ship Church." 

Slave Markets. 

There were several places on Dexter Ave- 
nue where slaves were auctioned off 
though the general method of trading in 
negroes was to buy and sell on commission 
rather than on the block. When an es- 
tate became insolvent, or had to be sold 
for a division of property, the slaves were 
brought to town to be sold at auction. 
For several days before a sale the negroes 
were on exhibit and it was the custom of 
the negro men dressed in bright red coats 
adorned with brass buttons to march down 
Dexter Avenue (then Market Street) and 
to mount a wooden platform on Court 
Square where they spent the day picking 
banjos, singing, and dozing in the sun- 
shine. The negro women and children 
were usually kept within a building court street 

set aside for them, though they too methodist church

sometimes sat around on the benches in front of a slave market. 
The prospective buyers had every opportunity to question and 
examine the slaves before the day of the auction. Families w^ere 
usually sold as a unit for it was neither humane nor expedient to 
separate husband from wife or mother from child, and was sel- 
dom done. 

The prices for an adult slave were from one thousand to five 
thousand dollars. Trained carpenters, brick layers, blacksmiths, 
cooks, seamstresses and maids brought higher prices than farm 
hands. 

One of these slave markets was on Dexter Avenue where the 
Grand Theater now stands. There were two others across the 
street and a fourth on tlie corner of Lawrence and Monroe. 

The Winter Building, Corner S. Court and Dexter Avenue. 

The Winter building which is now nearing its centennial is inti- 
mately connected with the history of Montgomery for it was orig- 
inally the property of John Gindrat who in the early days of 
Montgomery was notably active in advancing its growth and pros- 
perity. He served the town as Intendant (Mayor) and was 
President of the first bank in the city. 

In the history of the Southern Confederacy this building is of 
especial note. In the sixties it was the home of the Western Un- 
ion Telegraph Company and from their office, April 12, 1861, Pres- 
ident Davis' order "Fire on Fort Sumter," was telegraphed to 
General Beauregard, at Charleston, South Carolina.

UNION STATION, BUILT 1S97 

Old Montgomery Theater. 

Beaux and belles the memory of whose wit and grace still lin- 
gers among all but the youngest generation of Montgomerians 
once thronged the narrow lobby on North Perry Street where 
now beets and onions, turnips and cabbages are kings. Through 
this present market place used to pass the members of the Joie 
de Vie Club, famous in the social life of the city's past, to group 
themselves, a glittering horseshoe, round the entire front row of 
the balcony. 

The theatre was built in 1860. As it was on the direct route from 
Washington to New Orleans, the best players always stopped for 
a night or, in the older days, for a week in stock companies. Old 
stagers still love to talk of the eccentric, half mad John Wilkes 
Booth who was an even greater actor than his brother, Edwin. 
Growing reminiscent, they tell how at a midnight revel at Young's 
Cafe, then Fleming's famous resort for the wits of the town, 
Booth shocked himself and his friends into soberness by reciting 
the Lord's Prayer. Edwin Booth and Barrett played Othello here, 
Joe Jefferson his Rip Van Winkle. Few indeed were the stars 
of the American stage who did not come to the Montgomery 
Theatre. 

This old theatre has a more intimate connection with the South- 
ern National air, Dixie, than is generally known. Emmet had sung 
Dixie in New York, New Orleans and Mobile before he reached 
Montgomery. At that time Montgomery's small first orchestra 
was under the leadership of Mr. H. F. Arnold, of Saxonj', who still 
lives, now an honored citizen of Memphis, Tennessee. He was 
so impressed by Emmett's song that he went behind the scenes 
to request a copy. Emmett explained that as he had no knowl- 
edge of notes, the music had never been written. "Besides," he 



30 



GUIDE TO CITY OF MONTGOMERY 



added, "the song has made no impression whatever in other cities." 
Mr. Arnold asked to hear the air again. Emmet obligingly strum- 
med out the tune and there in the old Montgomery theatre Mr. 
Arnold wrote on the wall the music of Dixie. Later he wrote 
the score and presented copies to his orchestra. Dixie became 
the song of the hour. When Stephen A. Douglas visited Mont- 
gomery, Miss Maggie Mitchell, a well known singer of the time, 
was playing here in stock company. Dressed as the goddess of 
Liberty with an improvised flag of red and white flannel, she sang 
Dixie at the Douglas meeting. Enthusiasm was cyclonic in inten- 
sity. It swept the audience ofif its feet. When Jefferson Davis 
was inaugurated, the song was played up and down Dexter Ave- 
nue. It was played just before Mr. Davis stepped forth to take 
the oath of office at the Capitol. Dixie had become the war song 
of the Confederacy. 

First Hospital for Women. 

The first hospital in the world that was devoted exclusively 
to the treatment of diseases of women was located at 21 S. Perry 
street. Here, in a small frame building. Dr. J. Marion Sims began 
the work which made him famous throughout the civilized world. 

Estelle Hall. 

Estelle Hall, corner of Dexter Avenue and S. Perry, and Con- 
cert Hall, adjoining on Dexter Avenue, were the scenes of brilliant 
ante-bellum balls. Here the inaugural ball was given to Governor

(Corner Madison Avenue and N. Perry Streets.) 
This is the oldest Episcopal church in the city. Here Jefferson 
Davis and his family attended worship. The pew which he occu- 
pied is on the right hand aisle, and is marked with a bronze tab- 
let. 

Nicholas Hamner Cobbs, the first bishop of the State was rector 
of this church for five years.

On the corner of Moulton and Clayton streets stands the old 
Pickett house the home of Colonel Albert J. Pickett, Alabama's 
famous historian. It is now Barnes School for boys. 

Madison House. 

The Madison House, on the northwest corner of Dexter Ave- 
nue and Perry street, was built in 1847 and was a gathering place 
for politicians and statesmen l^efore the War Between the States.

Indian Queen Tavern. 

The Indian Queen Tavern, afterwards called the Globe Tavern, 
was on Dexter Avenue, adjoining the Dexter Avenue Methodist 
Church. Here in 1820 the people of the newly organized city of 
Montgomery met to celebrate their first July 4th with speeches 
songs and a torch-light procession. The building was destroyed 
by fire in 1830. 

Alabama River. 

The old river landing was, in the early days, one of the most 
many visitors to his shop, among them being Joseph A. Gaboury, 
bile once a year the surplus from their plantations, and bring back 
supplies of sugar, salt, coffee, and the silks and satins that were 
not wanting in the costumes for the women of this frontier town. 
These were loaded on barges and poled up by hand, this heavy 
task consuming from fiftj^ to seventy days. 

In the year 1821 a trial trip was successfully made by the steamer 
"Harriet" and the time reduced to ten days, including three days . 
spent at Selma and Cahaba. Great excitement greeted her arri- 
val here, and during the afternoon a party of ladies and gentle- 
men enjoyed the novel excitement of a steamboat ride up the 
river. Soon the "Tensa," the "Cotton Plant," "Hard Cash" were 
added to the little fleet, and the Alabama river became a steady 
stream of commerce. The landing was owned by the city, and be- 
came a scource of great revenue, one vear the amount reaching as 
high as $50,000. 

One of the most popular social pleasures of the past was boat 
excursions, and much of the romance of the town is connected with 
the moonlight rides on these old steamers, where the evening was 
spent in dancing and singing, and listening to the music of the 
caliope with which all the early steam boats were equipped. It 
was from this landing that Lafayette departed after his visit to 
the city.

Court Square. 

A municipality, like a person, has a heart from which radiate 
its main arteries. The heart of Montgomery is Court Square. It 
is formed by the intersection of two very broad streets of the 
former rival settlements — "East Alabama" and "New Philadel- 
phia." The chief street of the former was Commerce, and of 
the latter Market (now Dexter Avenue.) 

In order to settle a dispute between the rivals, for the location 
of the Court House, a site was chosen on the dividing line and 
the first county building was erected in what is now Court Square. 
Edward Mosely, Benjamin Davis, John Hughes, William Graves, 
and William LaPrade were the commissioners who made the se- 
lection on January 24, 1822. 

This building was used until about 1853, when a new Court House 
was built on the corner of Washington and Lawrence streets. 

In every county, public sales are conducted at the door of the 
Court House; but in Montgomery, notwithstanding the removal 
of the Court House, all public sales have continued to be held at 
the old site, where now stands a fountain. 

The Court Square Fountain. 

This fountain, which was one of the early works of Frederick 
McMonnies, was erected in 1886. It was on exhibition at the At- 
lanta Exposition and the purchase price was seven thousand dol- 
lars. 



34 GUIDE TO CITY OF MONTGOMERY 

It is the smaller duplication of the central part of a much hand- 
somer fountain presented to the cit}- of San Francisco by one of 
her millionaires. 

From Court Square are measured all distances from Montgom- 
ery. Wherever there is a mile stone on any country road, indi- 
cating the number of miles to Montgomery, it means the distance 
to the fountain. 

FIRST ELECTRIC CAR AND COURT STREET. 

The first electric trolley car ever known in the world's history 
was operated in Montgomer}-, Alabama in 1885. In an improvised 
shop in Detroit, Charles Vanderpool, a Belgian chemist, had dis- 
covered the use of electricity as a motive power and its prac- 
tical application as a means of rapid transit. His discovery brought 
many visitors to his shop, among them being Joseph A. Gaboury, 
a practical civil engineer and horse-car operator, and at that time 
the chief owner of the street car lines of Montgomery, Ala., and 
Columbus, Ga. This meeting of Vanderpool and Gaboury marks 
the beginning of a new era in street car transportation. Gaboury 
made arrangements with Vanderpool for the installation of his 
invention in connection with the street car system of Montgom- 
ery. The machinery was planned and made in the shop of Van- 
derpool in Chicago, and set up in the shops of the street car com- 
pany in Montgomery. At three o'clock in the morning of April 7, 
1885, the trial run of the electric trolley car was made on Court 
street. The car carried about twenty passengers, Charles Vander- 
pool, the inventor; Warren Reese, the Mayor; Joseph Gaboury, 
the president of the company and promoter, and the most promi- 
nent citizens of Montgomery. Mr. Vanderpool held the controller 
and Mr. Gaboury's young son, now an electrical engineer, turned 
on the current. 

Starting from the corner of Tallapoosa and Commerce streets, 
the car first groaned and crunched and then moved on through 
the business streets, up Court Street hill, from Court street into 
Grove street, up Grove street three blocks to Hull street and down 
Hull three blocks to Scott street. The invention was a success. 
The news spread quickly and many interested persons came from 
Europe and all parts of America to investigate the operations of 
the invention. Soon other cities installed electric car systems. 
Montgomery had the first; Windsor, Canada, the second; Scran- 
ton, Pennsylvania, the third; St. Joseph, Missouri, the fourth and 
Richmond, Virginia, the fifth. 

THE AVIATION REPAIR DEPOT. 

By Major L. R. Knight, A. S. (A.) 

The Aviation Repair Depot of Montgomery, Alabama, is lo- 
cated just west of the city between the Selma and Washington 
Ferry Roads. It consists of 329 ac^es of land and twenty-five per- 
manent buildings erected at a cost of over a half million dollars. 
The Flying Field of the Depot, where the nlanes are air tested is 
the same field used by the Wright Bros. (Messrs. Orville and Wil- 
bur) for some of their earliest experiments in the spring of 1907.

ARCH OF FOURTH ALABAMA REGIMENT 
RAINBOW DIVISION, 1919 



Construction started on the Depot on April 15th, 1918 and was 
completed on July 1st, same year. The first officer arrived at the 
Depot on July 1st and was quickly followed by fifty others, all 
trained in special schools for the particular kind of work for which 
the Depot was established; the officers were followed on July 21st 
and 25th by the four Repair Squadrons which were to make up 
the personnel of the Depot, these were the 882, 883, 879 and 880; 
the first two from Kelly Field, Texas and the latter two from Camp 
Greene, N. C. The total personnel including Medical Detachment 
was some 700 men. The Repair Depots were established to take 
care of major repairs to airplanes and airplane engines, it having 
been demonstrated that this work could be done at such a Depot 
to a much better advantage than at each individual Flying Field; 
therefore expert personnel was gathered together and assigned to 
the various Depots. Major repairs consist of the rebuilding of all 
wrecked planes and the overhauling of engines requiring complete 
disassembling. 

Montgomery was selected for one of these Depots for many rea- 
sons, the most important being its central location to the many 
Flying Fields in the Southeastern States and its unusually good 
railway facilities. 

Major S. M. Decker was the Depot's first Commanding Officer, 
and upon him fell the task of installing the machinery and organ- 
izing the personnel. Actual work of repairing did not begin until 
about September 1st, 1918 and the first completed job was turned 
out on September 15th, same year. The first work of the Depot 
consisted in the rebuilding of the Thomas Morse scouts that were 
destroyed by the hurricane at Lake Charles, La., at Gerstner Field

in July, 1918. Other training planes, mostly Curtiss, made up 
most of the work until early in 1919 ,when there began to arrive 
at the Depot the advanced types of planes such as the De Havi- 
land and Le Pere. 

Major Decker was succeeded by Major L. R. Knight as Com- 
manding Officer on December 14th, 1918, one month after the ar- 
mistice was signed. After plans for demobilization had been 
completed and the men had actually been discharged, it became 
necessary to carry on the work with civilian personnel, with the 
exception of such officers as had decided to stay in the Air Ser- 
vice permanently. By March 31st, 1919, all enlisted men had been 
discharged and the Depot began operations with civilians, many 
of whom were discharged enlisted men and officers who had 
learned the airplane trade and were so fascinated with it that 
they elected to remain, practically all of them becoming foremen 
at handsome salaries ; these men all became citizens of Mont- 
gomery, adding a hundred inhabitants to the city, from almost 
every state in the Union. 

In order to build up a peace time army that would not only be 
a protection to the nation but a betterment to its young men, 
the War Department adopted a policy of training young men who 
would come into the service, a trade so that they could go back 
to civil life at the end of one or three years, able to make a 
better living and be more useful citizens. This Depot was au- 
thorized to enlist young men with the promise that every man who 
so desired would be taught a useful trade and be paid a fair wage 
at the same time. With these inducements we enlisted 533 men 
at this Depot from the State of Alabama, being exceeded by only 
two other Air Service activities in the United States, one just out 
of New York City and the other just out of Chicago, the two lar- 
gest cities in the U. S. A. 

This Depot has rebuilt every type of Airplane used by the Uni- 
ted States forces in this country as well as over seas, from the 
smallest Thomas Morse Scout to the super Handley Page, and 
engines from the little 90 horse power Curtiss 0X5 to the 400 
horse power Liberty, including all makes of French. Italian, and 
even German types. 

The Depot's machine shops are most modern, capable of mak- 
ing every part of an engine even to the smallest part of the very 
delicate instruments used by the pilots in their planes. 

The Depot is a show place of Montgomery and is visited daily 
by people from all over the country, who in addition to seeing a 
great industrial plant, are thrilled with the wonderful flying which 
goes on continually during fair weather, flying still being novel 
enough to interest every one.

CARNEGIE LIBRARY 

CARNEGIE LIBRARY. 

(Corner Perry and Adams Streets.) 



Within sight of the Masonic Temple the Carnegie Library may 
be found. Public spirited citizens of Montgomery succeeded in 
securing from Andrew Carnegie funds for erecting this beautiful 
building. French Renaissance in style, it is set back some little 
distance from the street and a broad walk flanked by grass (green 
the year round) leads to the entrance. Once inside, the visitor 
is impressed by the simple but handsome interior. When opened 
in 1904 this was the first free public library in Alabama. Modern 
and up to date in every respect, an extensive reference department 
and a children's department are maintained. 

In agreement with Carnegie's terms, the library is supported by 
the city. Visitors are accorded every courtesy by the efficient 
librarian and her assistants.

THE MASONIC HOME. 



The Masonic Home, situated on the Vaughn Road, is one of the 
most up-to-date institutions of its kind in the South. There are 
six modernly equipped, fire-proof buildings, consisting of main 
building, infirmary, school, and three cottages. Within these 
walls, 152 children, 40 women and 8 men find a home, with com- 
fort for the old and education and training for the young. The 
corner stone was laid in 1911. The institution is supported by the 
Masonic Order and voluntary subscriptions.

WOMAN'S HOME 



WOMAN'S HOME. 

(Corner Adams and Union Streets.) 



A charitable and well organized institution, in its fortieth year, 
the Woman's Home furnishes shelter for widows, orphans, and 
old maiden ladies, who while they may be partially self-support- 
ing, are not able to provide fully for all their needs. "The Home" 
has no endowment and though several legacies have been left 
the institution, it is supported chiefly by voluntary contributions. 

The main building is not at all pretentious, but gives one the 
idea of comfort. Surrounding it are six cottages, built mostly as 
memorials. The grounds are spacious but not beautiful to any ex- 
tent, a charity without large funds to draw upon can not spend 
money recklessly. It is the hope of those who have the interest 
of the Home at heart that some day there may be an adequate 
endowment. No more deserving charity than this can be found 
anywhere.

(Corner Washington and S. McDonough Streets.) 



The Y. M. C. A. is housed in a building erected for this especial 
purpose. Thoroughly equipped, it affords a home for some, and 
recreation for many. There are reading rooms, gymnasium, swim- 
ming pool, and all else necessary to the convenience and pleas- 
ure of the members. Those in charge not only see to the business 
affairs, but look after the welfare of the men and boys who fre- 
quent the building. Entertainment of a wholesome kind is pro-

Diagonally across the street from the Carnegie Librarj^ the Y'. 
W. C. A. is located in a home that was once the residence of a 
prominent Montgomerian. It is well adapted to its present use 
and like the Y. M. C. A. is fitted up with comforts and devices for 
pleasure. Conducted on a plan similar to the men's organization, 
it provides business girls with a pleasant place to live. It is of 
interest that the marble mantels in this house were brought to 
Montgomery through the blockade established by the Federals 
during the war of secession.

ELK'S HOME 

ELKS CLUB. 

(Corner Bibb and Coosa Streets.) 

The Elks were fortunate enough to secure for themselves an 
ante-bellum home of beauty. The house is Colonial and with 
its broad veranda, adorned with Corinthian columns, is really ma- 
jestic. Unfortunately, business has encroached upon the neigh- 
borhood, unsightly garages and other shops making the surround- 
ings unattractive. 

BEAUVIOR CLUB. 

(Bell Building.) 



At the present time the Beauvoir, perhaps the oldest social club 
for men in the city, has no permanent home. For the convenience 
of the members, and on account of its proximity to the heart of 
the city, the entire top floor of the Bell Building was leased, some 
years ago, and here the club is still domiciled. 

The name "Beauvoir" was selected because it was the name of 
the Mississippi home of Jefferson Davis, and not as you might 
suppose, from the view that can be had of Montgomery and sur- 
rounding territory from its windows. The city, the river and the 
lovely meadow lands across the Alabama are spread before you 
in true panoramic style. It is worth a visit to the Club to obtain 
this picture of Montgomery. The Beauvoir is noted for its beau- 
tiful balls and receptions. Another feature of the Club is the roof 
garden, where during the summer months members can take their 
families and friends for a delightful supper, away from the heat 
and noise of the ordinary cafe.

MONTGOMERY COUNTRY CLUB 



THE MONTGOMERY COUNTRY CLUB. 



The Country Club is situated about three miles southeast of the 
business section of the city. The Club House is built after the 
bungalow style of architecture and though not elaborate, is artis- 
tic, comfortable and convenient. It overlooks the golf links which 
lie across the road to the south. The links are available for golf- 
ing all the year and the eighteen hole course ranks among the 
best in the country. The thick turf of bermuda grass is well kept 
as are the putting greens and all other details connected with the 
course. The country over which the links lie is picturesque and 
the landscape is a pleasing one, especially in the Spring when 
the wild primrose, for which this section is noted, blooms in the 
greatest profusion. The golfer walks over a course literally car- 
peted with the little pink flowers. 

Tennis Courts are laid out near the Club house and like the Golf 
links are kept in good condition. 

Visitors can, through their hotels, make arrangements by which 
they will be granted the privileges of the Club.

The Woodley Country Club and the Montgomery Country Club

Colonial style of the Club house is quite imposing. In addition to 
out-of-door sports a swimming pool affords pleasure to those who 
care for that form of entertainment. The links of the Woodley 
Club are not so old as those of the other Country Club, but they 
too are good and will, no doubt, in time rival those just across 
the road.

UNIVERSITY CLUB 

UNIVERSITY CLUB. 

(Lawrence, Scott and Alabama Streets ) 

A new social organization, The University Club, owns a hand- 
some home in the Southern part of the city and is up-to-date in 
every respect. An innovation is the furnisliing of rooms for the 
use of out-of-town members who when in Montgomery can make 
the club their residence. Another feature is the making over 
the cuisine to a lady who not only has charge of all the catering 
but acts in the capacity of a chaperone. 

WOMENS' CLUBS. 

The City Federation embraces study, civic, and patriotic clubs, 
numbering twenty-two (22) in all, with an approximate member- 
ship of one thousand women. 

Besides the clubs making up the Federation there are a number 
of others.

In addition to social and study clubs,, the men of Montgomery 
have founded various civic and patriotic organizations, among 
these the Kiwanis and Rotary Clubs.

CHILDREN'S HOME 



THE CHILDREN'S HOME. 



In the Spring of 1918 the Montgomery Federation of Women's 
Clubs authorized the Juvenile Court Committee, under the Socio- 
logical Department, to make plans towards the establishment of 
a Receiving Home for Children in Montgomery. The work of 
the Juvenile Court had grown to such proportions, that the Com- 
mittee, assisting tlie probation officer, found the problem of prop- 
erly caring for children a serious one. Although a Federation 
work, the Committee felt the interest and advice of business men 
necessary. Therefore, six men were asked to serve with repre- 
sentatives from the various Federated Clubs, under what has since 
been known as the Children's Protective Association. The prop- 
erty on the Upper Wetumpka Road was secured, where attractive 
surroundings and country life contribute to the improvement 
and development of the little ones. 

Upon admission to the Home, children are put under the care 
of physicians, who direct their physical well being and who, with 
the co-operation of the matron and assistants, see that they are 
surrounded by every influence that makes for constructive growth. 
The proceeds from the Ball of the Allies, a benefit entertainment 
in the autumn of 1918, gave the beginning to a fund to be used for 
the purchase of a permanent home. All gifts, and memorial gifts, 
are put aside for this purpose. The work is supported by volun- 
tary contributions and subscriptions. 

A Doll Bazaar at Christmas, and a Tag Day in May are estab- 
lished customs which assist in the maintenance of the Home.

THE FRESH AIR CAMP. 



The Anti-Tuberculosis Fresh Air Camp, under the management 
of the Anti-Tuberculosis League, is situated on the Upper We- 
tumpka Road, about two miles from the city. 

There are twenty-two cottages built on a high hill, among pine 
trees, an ideal spot for such an institution. 

Most of the cottages were built and equipped by benevolent or- 
ganizations. A few are the gifts of citizens. They are constructed 
on the latest improved plan for the treatment and comfort of the 
patients. 

Twenty-six patients can be cared for at one time and there are 
accommodations for both white and colored; an expert nurse is 
in charge. 

The camp is maintained by voluntary contributions and small 
annual sums from city and country. 

Montgomery is justly proud of this Fresh Air Camp, which has 
done so much for sufferers from this dread disease.

Watts, his home being used as a chapel, and home for sisters 
and nurses. The buildings are of pebble dash, with red tile roofs, 
and sit far back from the street, a wide lawn, shaded by large trees 
slopes from the front of them to the street. It is a Roman Cath- 
olic institution, under the management of the Sisters of Charity, 
and here is a training school for nurses. 

At this time it is Montgomery's largest Hospital.

SOLDIER'S MEMORIAL HOSPITAL 



THE MEMORIAL HOSPITAL. 



The Memorial Hospital, to be a perpetual memorial to the men 
from the city and county of Montgomery, who made the supreme 
sacrifice in the world war will be located at the corner of High 
and Union streets, on the site of the old Waller home. The lot 
is elevated and consists of more than four acres, partly covered 
with beautiful oaks, and affording room for the erection of a num- 
ber of buildings and grounds for convalescent patients. Work 
has already begun on the first unit known as the Central or Ad- 
ministration building. It is being built of brick, stone, concrete, 
and will be absolutely fire proof. At first it will be used as a 
complete building and will have three separate suites of operating 
rooms each with full equipment, two anesthetizing apartments, an 
X-ray room, sterilizing rooms, surgeon's dressing rooms, rooms 
for medical staff and rooms for the house medical staff, also wards 
for the treatment of patients. 

The entire cost of the first unit, including furnishing and equip- 
ment, will be $170,000. 

Later seven other buildings will be constructed; an Isolation 
building for the treatment of contagious diseases, a Maternity 
Building, Children's Building, Nurses Home, a building for colored 
people, the power house for heating, laundry, refrigerating and 
sterilizing. 

The Hospital plan includes a number of wards for people unable 
to pay, while wards and rooms are provided for paying patients. 

An outdoor clinic for the treatment of patients not requiring 
to be confined in bed, is one of the fine features of the Hospital 
plan also. 

The Board of Trustees is as follows : General R. E. Steiner, 
W. Nash Read, Mrs. W. B. Crumpton, Dr. J. L. Gaston, Isadore 
Weil, Lucien Loeb. F. J. Cramton and Dr. B. J. Baldwin, with the 
Mayor and President of the County Medical Society, County

SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES. 

The Woman's College of Alabama was established through the 
efforts of the clerical and lay members of the two conferences 
of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, in the State, for the 
higher education of the girls.

in 1906. The College was ready to receive pupils in 1909. 

It occupies a magnificent tract of fifty-seven acres, just outside 
of the city limits. 

The central building of the group "planned to meet the demands 
of future growth" is the John J. Flowers Memorial Hall. This is 
built of rough faced brick with oolithic limestone trimming and is 
Collegiate Gothic in its architecture. It contains the beautiful 
large chapel. 

The Julia A. Pratt Residence Hall and the Massey Hall, the 
latest of the group are fully equipped with every modern conven-

THE PARKS AND CEMETERIES OF MONTGOMERY. 

Oak Park, formerly the plantation and Montgomery home of 
Major Boiling Hall, of Autauga County, was known as Hall's 
Woods. In the early eighties William Joseph, then Mayor of 
Montgomery, urged by Hon. A. A. Wiley, consummated the pur- 
chase of Hall's Woods for $30,000, for Montgomery's first public 
park. It is a beautiful Oak Grove containing a small menagerie, 
a public swimming pool, tennis courts and full play ground equip- 
ment. 

Hamner Hall, now used for a public playground for the chil- 
dren of the city, was first established as a great Episcopal school 
for girls, and was named in honor of the first Episcopal Bishop 
of Alabama, Nicholas Hamner Cobbs. The historic building was 
destroyed by fire some years ago. 

Gunter Athletic Field is situated on Madison Avenue. Here 
takes places the games of baseball in the summer and football in 
the winter. It has a grand stand of large seating capacity. 

Besides the above parks, the city maintains three play grounds, 
one of which was equipped by the Rotary Club. The grounds con- 
tain swings, slides and see-saws and other childish delights, and 
also fine tennis courts for the girls and boys. These parks and 
grounds are constantly thronged with happy children. 

The two cemeteries of the city are Oakwood and Greenwood. 
The first named is by far the oldest and most historic. Half of this 
land was donated to Montgomery by General John Bayton Scott, 
one of the early founders of the city, and was known as the Old 
Graveyard, or Scott's Free Burying Ground. The other half was 
donated by Andrew Dexter, another founder of Montgomery. The 
first white person interred in the "old graveyard" was Mrs. Wil-

The most noted surgeon of this time, a man of international 
fame, Dr. J. Marion Sims, has a son buried in Oakwood in 1840. 
This boy was named Merry Christmas, having been born on Christ- 
mas day. He was called Merry. 

Pasqual Luciani, Napoleonic soldier, died in 1854 and was buried 
in Oakwood. Tombstone bears the inscription "A soldier of Na- 
poleon 1st for nine years." 

Mrs. D. Scott, a sister of the noted Huxley, died in 1895 and 
is buried in Oakwood. 

Samuel Holt, first mayor of Montgomery, Colonel Morehead, a 
Confederate Soldier of Kentucky, who died in 1863, at the age of 
thirty-five, and several of our Alabama governors, are all in- 
terred in Oakwood. Charlotte Morton Dexter wife of the founder 
of Montgomery and the daughter of a governor of Massachusetts 
is buried in the first marked grave in Oakwood, date 1819. 

In Oakwood we find the graves of Judge B. S. Bibb and his 
wife, Aunt Sophie, as she was affectionately called. These were 
among the most prominent of Montgomery citizens, the last men- 
tioned being the founder and president of the Ladies Memorial 
Association. 

Near the Hilliard lot is a great mass of masonry unmarked that 
is said to contain the body of a great Indian chief, who was a 
staunch friend of the early citizens of Montgomery. He died in 
1822 or '23.

There is one corner of the old cemetery dedicated originaHy to 
the faithful slaves of the pioneer citizens of Montgomery. Here 
lie buried faithful mammies, butlers and coachmen of many of 
the most prominent old families. In many of the private family 
plots one comes across the graves of loyal slaves. One of these, 
a slave of S. Scheussler, bears the inscription, "Jim, Remembered 
for his many virtues." 

Another grave bears this inscription, "Richard Blunt, a Free Col- 
ored Man, Died in 1840," which shows that there were free ne- 
groes prior to the Civil War and emancipation. 

On a sloping hillside in Oakwood are buried our own Confeder- 
ate soldiers, dear to the heart of every child of Dixie. Near this 
sacred dust will be found the graves of Dr. and Mrs. Carnot 
Bellinger, who gave to the Confederacy the first organized and 
equipped hospital for Confederate soldiers, and the grave of the 
man who donated Scott's Free Burying Ground, John Baytop 
Scott. 

Greenwood, as the new cemeterj' is called, embraces a hill on 
the outskirts of the city and is accessible bj^ trolley.

MONTGOMERY COUNTY ROADS. 



Montgomery County's road system is one of the best in the 
South. All of the main highwaj's are improved to the county 
line, while there are many miles of connecting highwaj^s which 
have made the famous Montgomery "loops" rides the joy of vis- 
iting motorists. One can leave the city and ride over a "loop" of 
nearly any distance — from five to seventy-five miles — and see a 
great deal of the county in a very short time. 

There are now nearly five hundred miles of fine graded gravel 
roads radiating from Montgomerj- to the county lines. An abund- 
ance of good road material in the numerous beds of clay gravel 
which are to be found in the different parts of the county, is con- 
sidered one of the county's chief assets. These highways have all 
been carefully graded, and are well kept, and there is not a time 
in the year when trucks and automobiles cannot pass over them 
at full legal speed. 

Many of the roads connect with improved roads of adjoining 
counties, and the tourist will find 
much of interest in visiting by motor 
the neighboring towns of Troy, Sel- 
ma, Tuskegee, etc. 

The ride to Tuskegee over the ^It. 
Meigs road is interesting, not only be- 
cause that city is the home of the 
well known "Tuskegee Institute" for 
Negroes, but also because there is no 
road of more historic interest in the 
State. 

It bears on its surface a brilliant pa- 
geant reaching back into the dim days 
of legend. Speeding automobiles ; the 
cotton wagons and coach-and-four of 
the wealthy planter; the old stage 
coach ; Lafayette and his escort of 
painted warriors and officials of tlie 
infant town; the caravans of incom- 
ing settlers ; the traders and adven- 
turers ; DeSoto and his glittering band 

or Spaniards ; Indians in single file, (Negro Baptist) 

each of them a link in the chain that ^'^i'^ to have the largest mem- 

■bership of any church 

builds the present to the past. in the world
